An skb queued in a qdisc can outlive the tunnel it references
through a raw pointer in skb->cb. For example, a netem delay of
180s exceeds the default tunnel lifetime of 135s (igmp_qrv=1);
when the tunnel expires and is freed, the subsequent dequeue
triggers a use-after-free in amt_dev_xmit().
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in amt_dev_xmit+0x2763/0x2e20
Call Trace:
amt_dev_xmit+0x2763/0x2e20 [drivers/net/amt.c:1262]
dev_hard_start_xmit+0x22f/0x620
sch_direct_xmit+0x12e/0xac0
netem_dequeue+0x333/0xc50
net_tx_action+0x35c/0xa60
Store the tunnel identity (ip4 + source_port) in skb->cb instead
of a pointer, and re-lookup the tunnel under RCU in amt_dev_xmit().
If the tunnel is gone, the query is simply dropped.
Fixes: cbc21dc1cfe9 ("amt: add data plane of amt interface")
